[JIRA]

Václav Haisman created MNG-6541:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: less restrictive "is referencing itself" check
                 Key: MNG-6541
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6541
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: Dependencies
    Affects Versions: 3.5.4
            Reporter: Václav Haisman


I have issues when building site:site in project with OpenJFX. The 
javafx-graphics artifact sort of references itself:


{code:xml}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; 
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 
http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"; 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
  <artifactId>javafx-graphics</artifactId>
  <version>11.0.1</version>
  <parent>
    <groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
    <artifactId>javafx</artifactId>
    <version>11.0.1</version>
  </parent>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
      <artifactId>javafx-graphics</artifactId>
      <version>11.0.1</version>
      <classifier>${javafx.platform}</classifier>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
      <artifactId>javafx-base</artifactId>
      <version>11.0.1</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</project>
{code}

But it does so with additional classifier. When I run site:site, it gives me 
this:

{code}
[WARNING] Unable to create Maven project from repository.
org.apache.maven.project.ProjectBuildingException: 1 problem was encountered 
while building the effective model for org.openjfx:javafx-graphics:11.0.1
[FATAL] 'dependencies.dependency org.openjfx:javafx-graphics:11.0.1' for

(DefaultProjectBuilder.java:327)
    at 
org.apache.maven.report.projectinfo.dependencies.RepositoryUtils.getMavenProjectFromRepository
 (RepositoryUtils.java:125)
{code}

I was wondering if the check could not be relaxed to accommodate this situation 
that seems to be common even in core Java components?
